Description
Warm up sketch!So, this is Jo, as you can probably tell.... and this is what she will look like if she ever breaks her contract with Trickster, or if Trickster is forced to leave her. Jo loses her shinigami abilities, her hollow, and her humanity, and is forced into this form. She is sent back to the world of the living and becomes a forest guardian, as per the terms of her contract.
Jo's form consists of land mammals important to native american peoples: rabbit feet, bison tail, mountain lion body, bear paws, elk's 'mane', deer antlers, fox ears, boar tusks, and a coyote's head. (as trickster herself is technically a coyote)
Those who carry out her punishment hope that the solitude will drive her mad.
As some of you know, not all the zanpakuto spirits are just that... some have a secret (like Trickster) But you'll find that out soon enough!
EDIT: COLOOOOR!

Jo: But... I'm trapped like this.. Forever. And I can't be there for you like when I was human. *hangs head* They changed everything about me. And my mind.. I'm an animal.

Jo: No.. Not that I know of. The contract was approved by Death, and... *shakes head* Not even Trickster could stop it from happening
Eliot: *shakes head and clutches at Jo* I'm still not leaving you Jo. You should know better than that
Jo: *shakes head and rests her chin on Eliot's head*

Eliot: *still crying, burying face in Jo's mane*
(LOL wait what happened to Sauria?)
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
(I think she's having a chat with Em about what happens to her if she breaks contract *actually was just lazy* *shot* I'll have her randomly come in |D)
Sauria: *runs over, still a little pale* I..oh, Eliot.... *bites lip, unable to imagine the pain she's in*
Kat: *glances at Ria* I'm going to talk to Death. *looks to Jo* Where's Trickster?
Sauria: Death?? Why?? What do you hope to accomplish by that??
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
(oooh hahaha okay. So what would be her punishment?)
Jo: *glances at Sauria* I don't know. I don't... I don't have any connection to her anymore
Eliot: *oblivious to everything but Jo, knowing she could never love anyone else*
(OH in my fic Death is secretly the Soul King... doesn't Kat have something to do with that?)

(Well, Em's powers focus more on the Earth itself, so she'd become an Earth elemental, with a body of stone and wood (and plants for hair). She'd completely loose her emotions and sense of who she was, and she'd no longer have any internal organs. Her sole purpose in existence would be to protect the Earth from all harm. It'd be kinda like how Jo guards the forest, but she isn't limited to that, and she'd have to travel all the time, never able to rest as long as there's harm being done to the environment. And yeah, Kat's the daughter of the Soul King! She thinks that's just crazy babble that Tamashii spews though xD)
Sauria: I...I could ask Awohali..
Kat: Then do it! *grinds teeth* I won't let this just happen!! I will do something about this! I have too!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
(aaaahhhh. Yeah, is that something she fears? Losing her emotions? Since Jo was terrified of being left alone and feared, and that's what her punishment entails. DEATH IS HER MOMMY THEN OMGGGG haha)
Jo: Kat... Please don't put yourself in danger for me. That's how I ended up like this in the first place.. someone getting hurt in my place. You don't owe me anything..
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
(Yeah, to her emotions are what makes a person, what allows a person to live. If you can't feel emotions, how can you experience fear or love or hate? The thought that she would never be able to feel again is frightening to her. LOOOOOOL OMG XDDD The look on her face if she knew that xDDD)
Sauria: *hesitates* Death...well, Death could kill you for even thinking of doing this.
Kat: I. Don't. Care. *holds up her hands* These hands...these hands have been the cause of pain and suffering for many. I've hesitated before, and people that didn't even deserve it were killed, and I was never punished for it. You...you don't deserve this Jo. It's not fair that the real monsters like me get to roam free, when good people like you are punished. Now, summon your Aspect Sauria.
Sauria: *stares before sighing* Fine... *closes eyes*
Awohali: *appears* Alright, I'm here, what are your other 2 wish-whooooaaaa...Jo?? *stares at her* Broke your contract eh?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
(aaah. Oh, I guess another part of it is jo being afraid of losing her humanity haha. They're similar people XD. I WANNA SEE IT HAHA)
Jo: Kat... you.. *ears flatten and bears her teeth at Awohali, barely holding back a growl* Obviously
Eliot: *tightens her grip on Jo*

(Lol, they'd be two screwed peas in a pod |D LOL THEN I'LL ATTEMPT TO DRAW IT TOMORROW AFTER WORK XDD it'll fail, but hey, I guess I might as well try x"D)
Awohali: *shrugs* Rules are rules, but I am sorry about that Jo. But...I don't get why I'm here. I can't undo that.
Sauria: *looks at Kat*
Kat: That's why I want to talk to Death. Either get Trickster so she can take me to Death, or you do it yourself.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
(haha poor them. But Jo had a choice for her contract, Sauria was kinda forced into hers haha. YESSSS)
Jo: *ears still flat, shakes head to get a grip* I know that..
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
(Lolol that she was |"D Oh well, she'd suffer all the same)
Awohali: *Shakes head* I can't take you to Death, I'm bound to her *jerks thumb at Sauria* Best I can do is call out to Trickster, but it's up to her whether she answers or not.
Sauria: Then you'll have to do that I guess...
Kat: *growls* HOW HARD CAN IT BE TO REACH DEATH?? I'LL FIND HER MYSELF IF I HAVE TOO!!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
(truuue haha)
Jo: *voice thick, holding back her snarling* Trickster will come...
Eliot: *pulls face away from Jo* Kat, stop! Please... I don't know what Death is like but please don't get into trouble! This is... bad enough already
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
(lol hurrah for sadistic treatment of our OCs! )
Awohali: *closes his eyes, scowling for a moment before shaking his head and opening his eyes* Ugh, I hate communicating like that. It feels weird...
Kat: *shakes head* I can't Eliot. I can't just let this happen! The last time I stood by and did nothing, I screwed over the lives of my comrades, not to mention myself!
Sauria: What..?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
(wwoooo!)
Trickster: *to Awohali only* What do you want, Brother. *voice is flat and humorless*
Jo: What.. do you mean?
Eliot: *wipes eyes*
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Awohali: *purely to Trickster* It's Katsumi. She wants you to take her to Death..
Sauria: *waits, just looking at Kat*
Kat: *head falls forward, bangs concealing her eyes* I...I lied when I said I didn't know...that Takashi was planning on doing something horrible. I didn't know exactly what he was planning but...I knew he wasn't right. I knew he had strayed down the wrong path. And I didn't do anything. I could have stopped him, but I didn't, all because I was hoping I was wrong about him.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Trickster: And why is that? Death is not exactly pleased with me
Jo: *growls, causing Eliot to jump* There's no shame in having faith in a loved one Kat...
Eliot: Especially family!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Awohali: She keeps talking about wanting to do something about Jo's condition.
Sauria: They're right. It doesn't mean any of it was your fault..
Kat: There's shame when it ruins the lives of the people you loved most! *head snaps up* Because of my hesitation, not only did I lose a child, but so did my sister-in-law, and 5 comrades suffered horribly long, painful deaths because their bodies rejected the changes that had been forced upon them.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Trickster: .... Fine. I will need a minute.
Jo: *runs a hand through her mane* Kat... *shakes head* Look, you may have hesitated but it wasn't you who caused those deaths. He did! And you had no control over his actions. Sure, you fucked up and should have said something... But you have no idea what could have happened otherwise. You're powerful, not omnipotent...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Awohali: *nods* Thanks. Alright she said she'll do it.
Kat: *shakes head* It's my fault as much as it is his. I could have prevented it, and it makes me just as guilty. *looks to Awohali* How long will she be then?

Jo: *flicks tail* You-
Trickster: *walks out from the woods, grin absent* Someone summoned me?
Jo: *looks down, ashamed*

Kat: I did. *strides forward* I want to speak to Death.
Sauria: Kat..!
Awohali: It's a bad idea you know..
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Trickster: *sits and cocks head* And why is that?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Kat: I want to see if there's anything that can be done to reverse Jo's condition. Since Death seems to be the big wig, I want to talk to Death. So, will you take me to her or not?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Trickster: I will. But I do not see the point. *looks to Jo* I had already pleaded our case. Prepare yourself for disappointment.
Jo: *looks up at her with a broken expression*

Kat: As long as I can at least try, I don't give a damn how hopeless it seems.

Trickster: Very well. *strides up to Kat and opens her glowing green eyes, staring sraight into Kat's. Time seems to halt, and she seems to pull all of Kat's focus and energy to herself*

Kat: *stares impassively back, letting it happen as she mentally prepares herself for facing Death* //Let something change in this meeting...//

Trickster: *breaks eye contact and closes eyes. They are now standing on the front entrance of a huge manor, the shift in position rather disorienting. She silently walks toward the door, which opens on its own*

Kat: *wobbles slightly but squeezes her eyes shut till the feeling passes before opening them up again to follow Trickster* This is Death's home..?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Trickster: It's where she works. Wait here. *heads toward a door and just walks through it*
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Kat: *eyes the door* Did she..? Must be an Aspect thing... *frowns as she looks around* strange...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Trickster: *returns after several minutes, opening the door this time* She will see you. *shakes head*
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Kat: *forces herself to be calm before striding through the door* //Don't kill me before I get a chance to say anything...// *barely sees a figure before bowing low, bending at the waist* Thank you for seeing me.

Death: Oh, knock that shit off, chimera... Get up. *lazily flicks a strand of hair out of her face*
(Okay, I don't have her done yet but she basically looks like Olivia Wilde, but her eyes are silver. She wears a bunch of silver jewelry, each piece representing one of the 'psychopomps', the Aspects in charge of ferrying souls. (Anubis, Hades, ect) and her nails are kinda long. Aaand she's wearing what looks like a bird skull on her head that she can pull down like a mask)
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Kat: *straightens and takes a moment to study Death, pondering as to why she looks a little familiar* You know what I'm here about, Death.
(Death looks pretty bad ass then xD Especially like the eyes~ Then again, I like eyes that are white or silver xD)
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Death: *interlaces her fingers, sets her elbows on the table and chin on hands, studying Kat intently* Of course I do. Our unfortunate friend Jo...*falls silent again, an eyebrow raised*
(haha she's fun. Nature's the more stern one. I like em' too!)
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Kat: *squares jaw as she cuts to the chase* Tell me, is there absolutely no way of Jo turning back to her original form? Because, as much as I respect you, that's bullshit. I understand all to well hesitation can mean disaster, but I think we both know she doesn't deserve...that.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Death: *drums her fingers on her desk* Well, I agree with you. Jo has done much in protecting both our species. However... *crosses arms* Those contracts were made for a reason. So our power wouldn't be abused... *sighs* We once allowed someone to come back from their punishment, and that decision is still biting our asses.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Kat: *eyes narrow* Would it not be acceptable to transfer the punishment to someone who really deserves it? And how could it still affect you? Did that person cause some calamity??
